I was in my late twenties when I learned that the numbers on a toaster are simply time and not degrees of toastiness.

Which is why if the toaster is already hot when you put in a fresh slice of bread, that time will give you extra toastiness vs the same time starting with a cold toaster.

My wife had to explain to me that pickles were pickled cucumbers and there wasn’t a pickle tree.

I was 30 something years old.

That sounds like a real pickle you went through.

I mean if it helps you they are made from a special pickle sized breed of cucumber.

Me too, but I was in my 40's and found out at a bierfest.

Makes me wonder, can you pickle zucchinis?
